Madagascan Aloes thrive in fast-draining, nutrient-rich soil that mimics their natural habitat. If you want healthy roots, vibrant growth, and stunning blooms, hereβs the best mix for success!

β¨ The Perfect Mix:
- 50% Inorganic Grit β Use pumice, perlite, crushed lava rock, or coarse sand for excellent drainage.
- 30% Organic Matter β Coconut coir or finely screened compost for light moisture retention and nutrients.
- 20% Mineral Soil β A mix of loamy soil or decomposed granite for structure and trace minerals.
π‘ Pro Tips:
β Avoid peat moss β It retains too much moisture and can cause root rot.
β Add gypsum or crushed eggshells for extra calcium (essential for many Aloes).
β Use a well-draining pot or raised bed to prevent waterlogging.
π₯ Bonus Tip: A thin top layer of gravel or small rocks helps keep the soil cool and prevents rot!
